366: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
367: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
368: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

371: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
372: <ul>
373: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
374: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
375: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
376: <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
377:
378: <p>
1.49 jaredy 379: Use <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyB37.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
1.1 henning 380: support, or <i>CD1:3.7/i386/floppyC37.fs</i> for better laptop support.
381:
382: <p>
383: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
384: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
385: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
386:
387: <p>
388: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
389: read INSTALL.i386.
390:
391: <p>
392: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
393: at <i>CD1:3.7/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
394: use the <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=
395: dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a> utility. The following is an example usage of
1.49 jaredy 396: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
397: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

405: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
406: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot

423: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
424: To do this, write <i>CD2:3.7/amd64/floppy37.fs</i> to a floppy, then
425: boot from the floppy drive.
